I think some of the distaste I have for Whitman has less to do with his style as it is the content. Most of it I can't take seriously. The cultural machinery has cliche-ified so much of his writing that it feels trite to me: this is some of the 'bad part' of being a man of the times. I look through my lens and have a difficult time being critical of it. 'Yawp' is a bad-ass word, however. Deron, what you say is too right.

I am constantly trying to push the limits of the mind and cultural perspectives. Deron: It will probably happen some day, even dear Mr. Pound was reconciled to him. I think he wrote a poem about it during his <i>Blast</i> period. Sheila: I agree but it doesn’t mean I don’t fight it.

We can only try to imagine other perspectives, all the while bearing in mind our own vantage point. Oh, I don’t think that it’s possible to be anything else, ultimately.

And if you're having a hard time with Warhol maybe try out Jeff Koons for a while, or, more interestingly perhaps, pretend that Norman Rockwell is a contemporary artist. (The process of which will render you both a man of the times and transcendent of it.) I vote for an embrace of Whitman whole heartedly.
